    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion by Sen. Kasanga. It is, indeed, a timely one. Motorcycle business is a very important business in Kenya, particularly with regards to transportation. Many rural areas do not have good roads and these motorcycles can normally go deep into the areas that cars cannot access. You will realize that even during the rainy season, motorcycles come in handy to ferry passengers. In addition to ferrying passengers, they even ferry goods to the market. However, the challenge has been the lack of clear regulation to ensure that this business is conducted in a better way. Why is this so? It is because it is one of the businesses that has contributed a lot to our economy. The number of passengers who use these motorcycles is very huge. Consequently, many accidents are caused by these motorcycle operators, and the number is going up every day. Because of the many accidents that occur, it has also created a social problem in our hospitals. Many of our hospitals have now been forced to create a section where motorcycle-related accident patients are treated."
